Hi Kelli.

    Wow....What exactly are you moving? (how long are you going for? )
    the requirements for moving a small 'hobby' level shop are radically
    different than the requirements of moving a production facility. If
    the move's not permanent, you might want to think *seriously* about
    getting a storage locker and mothballing the larger items in NC. Have
    you priced shipping lately? 

    I had a lot of fun studying in London when I was in college, so
    enjoy yourself. The Brits have some wonderful things to teach us
    'generalist' yanks. 

    Two words of warning: they use 'Birmingham' gage for silver. It runs
    backwards to our B&S gage, so higher numbers are *thicker*. The
    crossing point is somewhere around 16-18 gage. (Just use Metric. It's
    simpler.) Also, aluminum. For them, it's aluminium. ("alu-min- e-um")
    Really. My classmates used to have great fun mocking my American
    pronunciation. (Oh, and guilding metal is red brass. Very much like
    nugold.) 

    So, the questions are these: 

    (1) what are you moving?
    (a) how long is this for?

    (2) what needs power?
    (a) is it worth rigging a converter? or would it be simpler to buy it
    there. (their prices are astoundingly high.) 

    (3) what's the shipping budget? This is probably the real crux of the
    issue. 

Enjoy yourself.

Regards,
Brian Meek.
